I was sent to Baltimore on short notice to shoot and produce part of a documentary for the BBC, PBS, and NOVA about the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was struck by the container ship Dali. With only one initial contact at the Army Corps of Engineers, I spent over two weeks on the ground, interviewing personnel from the Army, Navy, and Army Corps of Engineers, and documenting the organization and recovery efforts surrounding this tragic event.

Here is a link to the documentary on NOVA.

On March 26, 2024, the world collectively gasped as a massive container ship, the Dali, lost control and plowed into the landmark Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The busy four-lane bridge suffered a catastrophic collapse and crashed into the Patapsco River. Six highway workers were killed, and the Port of Baltimore – a crucial link in the global shipping chain on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States – was blocked by thousands of tons of twisted steel and concrete. How did a modern ship lose all power and propulsion? And why did the bridge fail so catastrophically? Follow the high-stakes rescue and recovery, the efforts to reopen the port, and the investigations into what went wrong and how many other crucial bridges are at risk.
